The First Street Church Romances by Elissa Strati is her debut series and the one that launched her writing career. Starting with Love’s Prayer in 2016, the series grew to 25 books by 2019. Every title follows the “Love’s…” naming pattern, from Love’s Promise to Love’s Wonderful Life, and the stories are tied together through a shared church community.
This is a clean, faith-centered romance series where the characters find love through their involvement with the First Street Church. The books cover a range of romantic situations, with titles hinting at the themes of each story. While Strati later became best known for her Western mail-order bride novels, these church romances show her roots in inspirational fiction.
